Corrosion (Japanese: ふしょく Corrosion) is an Ability introduced in Generation VII. It is the signature Ability of Salandit and Salazzle.

Effect

In battle

Corrosion allows the user to inflict poison on any Pokémon regardless of type, allowing them to poison Poison and Steel-type Pokémon.

This Ability has no effect on Toxic Spikes. It does not allow the Pokémon with this Ability to poison a Pokémon with Immunity, nor can the Pokémon with this Ability damage Steel-types with Poison-type moves.

If a move is reflected by the target of the Pokémon with this Ability due to Magic Coat or Magic Bounce, the reflected move will not be able to poison Steel- or Poison-type Pokémon.

If the user is holding a Toxic Orb, it'll get badly poisoned. It'll also Poison the target if flung.

Outside of battle

Corrosion has no effect outside of battle.
